Within Temptation

Formed in 1996 by long-term partners Sharon den Adel (vocals) and Robert Westerholt (guitar), Within Temptation combine the epic scale of movie soundtracks with dark gothic and metal influences. The band has sold over three million albums worldwide scoring 30 Gold and Platinum awards so far.

Within Temptation first broke through into the European mainstream with their second album Mother Earth, in 2000, which went Top 5 in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany where the album is certified Platinum. The follow-ups The Silent Force (2004) and The Heart of Everything (2007) saw the band’s success grow further international with successful releases in key markets such as the United States, United Kingdom and Japan. Their 2011 album The Unforgiving was a concept album accompanied by a comic book and a series of short movies. It marked a radical shift in the band’s musical style combining their hallmark powerful melodies with influences from late Eighties and early Nineties rock.
